3. An investigator is told that a closed vessel holds a pure rare gas. She measures the density of the gas in the vessel at 298 K and 1 atm pressure and finds it to be 0.8252 g/L. a. If she assumes that the vessel contains a pure gas, what gas does the investigator think is in the vessel? b. After turning in her report, she is told that the vessel actually contains a mixture of He and Ar. What percentage of the gas in the container is He?

A helium-filled weather balloon has a volume of 636 L at 23.9°C and 751 mmHg. It is released and rises to an altitude of 4.93 km, where the pressure is 484 mmHg and the temperature is –9.1°C. The volume of the balloon at this altitude is ________ L. A sample of hydrogen gas occupies a volume of 7.92 L at 52.0°C and 336 torr. If the volume of the gas sample is decreased to 6.68 L, while its temperature is increased to 117.0°C, the resulting gas pressure will be _____ torr. Please answer both questions its all together!

Gases are different from solids and liquids. In a sample of gas, the molecules are far apart. The gas molecules also move around and collide with each other as well as with the walls of the container. These collisions generate pressure. The pressure of a gas can be measured in different units. One convenient unit of measure is called the atmosphere (atm) because it is based on atmospheric pressure. At sea level, the average pressure is 1 atm. As you get higher in altitude, the pressure steadily drops until you leave the atmosphere, where the pressure is very close to 0 atm. The table below shows the different commonly used units of measuring gas pressure. Use this table in the pressure unit conversions.
